Printer Installation

Is there a way that once you install a network printer that it will install to all profiles. Does anyone know of a batch file or registry hack that will install the network printer to anyone who logs into the machine as long as they have the proper permissions. Thanks.

I am not sure I understand what your situation is very clearly. If **ALL** profiles (accounts) you are talking about are in the same machine, and the printer is preexisting, once you create a new account, it should be a available to the user, if the account is not restricted. If you are talking about multiple accounts, multiple machines, there are solutions in packages like Netware that allows you to configure and distribute network installs for software, printers, apps, etc.
